A point that merits consideration is whether or not refugee camps perpetuate poverty. For example, did wealthy Syrians end up in refugee camps? And if so, have they remained there? The same question can be asked about Palestinians decades ago. The point is this, as someone who immigrated to the U.S. from the Middle East as a minor, I think while the squalid conditions of refugee camps certainly affect cognitive function in refugee youth, the refugee camp youth probably came from (or were born into) lower socioeconomic strata of their home country. Does my question make sense? Is my assumption correct?
